Notre Dame Official Colors are

Blue and Gold

Although Notre Dame's official colors for athletics long have been listed as blue and gold, the color of the Irish home football jersey has switched back and forth between blue and green for more than 50 years.

The origin of school colors can be traced back to the founding of the University. At the time of its founding in 1842, Notre Dame's original school colors were yellow and blue; yellow symbolized the light and blue the truth. However, sometime after the Dome and Statue of Mary atop the Main Building was gilded, blue and gold became the official colors of the University.
